Title: Improvements in or relating to the conforming of shoe uppers to the shapes of lasts
IPC: A43D21/16
Filed: 1937-01-25
Abstract: 489,341. Lasting-machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd., RICKS, F., BRAY, W. N., and SILVESTER, R. H. Jan. 25, 1937, Nos. 2117 and 10316. [Class 17 (i)] In a pulling-over machine of the kind described in Specification 413,010, the work support is provided with gauges, spaced apart widthwise of the shoe, for the purpose of relatively positioning the insole and the last. The heel rest may be controlled by a dashpot, to prevent it striking the side of the shoe in a sudden advance unaccompanied by the requisite lateral motion. The shoe support comprises a casting 1 pivoted at 3 and provided with a cam roll 5 co-operating with a cam (not shown). Also pivoted at 3 is a channel member 6 housing a slide 7 urged forwardly by a spring 31 and provided with rack teeth engaged by a pinion secured to a handle 29. To the slide 7 is pivoted at 9 a plate 11 carrying insole-engaging feet 15. A rearward extension of the slide 7 provides a flat support for a plate 19 having a pair of gauge members 21 for the corners of the toe ends of the insole and last. The plate 19 is, normally, retained from endwise movement by a pin 41 on a latch 37 pivoted to the plate 11 and held in operative position by a slide 43. This slide is urged rearwardly by a spring 45, but may be retracted by a turned-up end 47, to allow the latch 37 to be raised for change of the plate 19. A slot in this plate gives clearance to an insole engaging member 23 formed with a slot engaging a pin 25 in the slide 7 and provided with a tail engaged by a spring plunger 27. The member 6 is adjustable about the shaft 3, a screw 51 and pin 49 carried by the member supporting it by engagement with a rocking member 53. In a modification, the member 23 is substituted by a member 59 slidable transversely of the shoe on a guide 61 and, normally, centralized by a groove engaged by a spring 63. To prevent the position of the insole being disturbed by a sharp blow on the side of the last by the heel rest 67 as this automatically advances to clamp the shoe, the advance is delayed, to give the rest time to move laterally, by a dashpot 69. A cord 74 secures the dashpot to the rest, a piston 73 with a small port and a non-return valve is pivoted to the frame, and the dashpot is guided by a bracket 71. The dashpot contains oil. Specifications 470,749 and 482,275 also are referred to. According to the first Provisional Specification, the plate carrying the gauging fingers can be adjusted longitudinally of the shoe, and the profile of the fingers may be such that the insole is inward of the edge of the last.

Abstract: 284,666. Manson,T. M., and Ward, C. H. Feb. 3, 1927, [Convention date]. Fixed-chamber apparatus. - The measuring- chamber is drained by means of a siphon when a valve at the top of the siphon is closed and air pressure is set up in the chamber. The siphon consists of an outer pipe 13 and an open-ended inner pipe 9 spaced apart and held by a casing 11 containing a cylindrical valve 21 rotatable by a hand-lever 30 through a spindle 28. The height at which overflow from the chamber commences may be adjusted by a screwed bolt 37 the head of which is held by the casing cover 34. An air valve 14 permits ingress of air when the chamber is discharging but closes when pressure in the chamber exceeds atmospheric. To drain the chamber the valve 21 is shut and the supply pump 33 operated to cause pneumatic pressure, in the chamber with the result that the siphon is started and the chamber consequently drained.

[Class 29.] Compression machines.-A supplementary cooler b for the partially condensed gases, utilizing the returning cold evaporated gases as described in Specification 329,550, [Class 29, Cooling &c.], is combined with an oil separator a and an air separator c, and is provided with a pipe o through which part of the condensed gases leaving the cooler may be led to the suction pipe p to cool the compresser. The gases from the condenser enter the oil separator by a pipe d, and oil is deflected to the bottom by a baffle v and led away by a pipe k. The gases then pass through coils f<1> in the cooler b and to the air separator through an upwardly bent pipe r<1>, and are delivered through a pipe j to the evaporator. The air is delivered through a passage i to a reservoir located above the condenser. The evaporated gases enter the cooler by a passage g and any entrained drops of liquid collect in a receptacle u. This liquid evaporates when the machine is started up and serves to cool the coil f<1> and also the compresser. The pipe o is fitted with a valve n.

[Class 102 (ii)] Water is admitted to the casing 1 by the valve 4 and is expelled through the pipe 8 by compressed air from the pipe 6. This supply of air is controlled by a slide valve 14 actuated by the piston 12. Air to the pipe 6 passes through the port 25 and through the adjustable plug 27. At the same time air from the chest 11 enters the righthand end of the cylinder 10 filling this space and a connected vessel provided with a vent so that after some delay the air pressure moves the piston 12 to the left against the weight 17 acting on the cam 19. The passage 26 now supplies air to a second chamber filled with water and the action is repeated on the reverse direction.

Title: Improvements connected with the control of electric hoisting motors for hoisting machinery
IPC: B66C13/24
Filed: 1945-01-31
Abstract: 590,578. Control of motors. WHEELER, H. D., and MOSSAY, P. A. H. Jan. 31, 1945, Nos. 2458/45 and 2892/46. [Class 38 (iii)] During lowering of a hoist, and on an early step of controller MC, means which respond to the current in hoist motor armature A on that step determine the shunt field variation obtainable by moving the controller to a later step. On step 1 the circuits of armature A, (Fig. 1), and shunt field SH are completed, magnet DO connects resistance AD across the armature and relay R1 short-circuits shunt field resistance ZR. On step 2, magnet DO is de-energized, and the armature resistance is short-circuited in steps by switch C1 and-after a time interval forming step 3 and determined by lock-out coil LC or by a timing relay-by switch C2. Relays H and M both lift in response to motor armature current ; with a light load on the hoist they both remain up so that on step 4 relay R1 (shortcircuited by relay H and contacts A2 on switch C2) drops, after a time interval, to insert shunt field resistance ZR and to interrupt the shortcircuit across relay R2, which connects diverter ZD across the shunt field. With a medium load on the hoist, relay M drops to prevent operation of relay R2. With a heavy load both relays M and H drop, so that on step 4 relay R, remains energized and full shunt field excitation is maintained. When the controller MC is moved backward, relay R1 lifts and then, after a time delay, relay R2 drops, to strengthen the shunt field. Relays H and M include coils H, and M1, connected across the supply on all steps of the controller. In Fig. 2 (not shown) these coils are strengthened by a timing relay for switch C, to prevent relays H and M from subsequently dropping, and the series operating coils are short circuited by switch C2.
